Club career edit

Early career edit

Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Bruno Marques started to impress while playing for Lagarto's under-19 squad. He made his first team debut on 18 February 2018, playing 25 minutes in a 0–1 Campeonato Sergipano away loss against Freipaulistano.

Bruno Marques scored his first senior goal on 24 March 2018, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 home success over Olímpico.[1] In July, he was loaned to Fluminense, returning to the youth setup.[2]

Santos edit

In September 2018, Bruno Marques was loaned to Santos for one year, and was assigned to the under-20 squad.[3] On 9 December of the following year, his loan was extended for a further season.[4]

Bruno Marques started the 2020 campaign with the B-team, being the top goalscorer of the side in the Campeonato Brasileiro de Aspirantes with seven goals. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 28 November 2020; after coming on as a second-half substitute for Kaio Jorge, he scored his team's third in a 4–2 home win against Sport Recife.[5]

Bruno Marques made his Copa Libertadores debut on 1 December 2020, again replacing Kaio Jorge in a 0–1 home loss against LDU Quito.[6] Late in the month, the club announced the extension of his loan deal until the end of February, with a permanent four-year deal subsequently arranged, after exercising the buyout clause of R$ 600,000 on his contract.[7] His new contract was signed on 1 March.[8]

Loans to Arouca and Marítimo edit

On 25 January 2022, Bruno Marques moved to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Arouca on loan until June 2023.[9] On 7 August 2023, he moved to Liga Portugal 2 team Marítimo on a one-year loan deal,[10] but was sent back to his parent club the following 1 February.[11]
